Tom Cridland is an Anglo-Portuguese musician and entrepreneur. Tom works with his Anglo-Italian wife, Deborah, whom he married in Ravello on the 14th October, 2023.

Tom learnt the piano during the Covid-19 lockdowns as a means of overcoming alcoholism, inspired by Elton John, and has performed in every American state and all over the world as his alter ego, "Sir El Tom".

Tom has written and performed his own compositions for the album he produced for The Stylistics, Falling In Love With My Girl, as well as with his band, The Tomicks, and on his solo project, One Single a Week.

Tom's first entrepreneurial venture was his fashion brand, 30 Year Clothing, established in 2014. The brand is famous for The 30 Year™ Sweatshirt, The 30 Year™ T-Shirt and for designing the stage outfits for Nigel Olsson, including the purple suit he wore onstage at Glastonbury in 2023.

Tom has interviewed guests and friends on his Greatest Music of All Time Podcast, including notable musicians, actors, models and other public figures.

The TCPR Agency, founded by Tom and Debs in 2015, specialises in producing creative content, facilitating celebrity and influencer collaborations, and securing press coverage and media appearances.

Tom grew up in Northamptonshire, London and Lisbon with his father, Jonathan, his mother, Manuela, and his brother, James.

Tom and Debs have a daughter, Julia, named after Tom's beloved late Grandmother.
